Coordination and growth in tourism: When self-interest does-not suffice
分析了旅游业中公共品与私人品共存时，协调如何促进良性循环、推动高质量旅游并避免增长陷阱，对旅游政策制定者和研究者有参考价值。
Private goods and common goods coexist in tourism. However, the nature of the latter means that self-interest alone cannot guarantee their optimal provision. Hence, coordination emerges as a necessary strategy to reconcile both. The analysis shows that, with coordination, a virtuous circle emerges between common goods (public incentive) and tourism (private incentive), becoming more intense and important with tourism-driven economic development. Coordination also allows a transition toward high-quality tourism (crowding out low-quality tourism), which is necessary to compensate for the lack of productivity in this sector. Without coordination, there is room for a tourism development trap or economic growth reversal . Finally, we identify a “ Quality Paradox ”: quality improvements might jeopardize economic growth by triggering a price hike, reducing overall competitiveness.
